Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were big, clean, and comfortable. I loved the rooftop lounge which felt like a peaceful oasis. The jacuzzi was very unique and tasteful. Every staff member we interacted with was very genuine and friendly and we felt that they really did care about guest experience. One thing to note is that the building is a bit older so the bathroom in my room was a bit smaller than you'd get in a newer hotel.
